Python urllib2: Receive JSON response from url

Question

I am trying to GET a URL using Python and the response is JSON. However, when I run

import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen(\'https://api.instagram.com/v1/         


        

Answer 1

Though I guess it has already answered I would like to add my little bit in this

import json
import urllib2
class Website(object):
    def __init__(self,name):
        self.name = name 
    def dump(self):
     self.data= urllib2.urlopen(self.name)
     return self.data

    def convJSON(self):
         data=  json.load(self.dump())
     print data

domain = Website("https://example.com")
domain.convJSON()

Note : object passed to json.load() should support .read() , therefore urllib2.urlopen(self.name).read() would not work . Doamin passed should be provided with protocol in this case http
